Determination of Antivibrational and Acoustical Properties of Some Materials Made From Recycled Rubber Particles and Sawdust
Journal Title: Romanian Journal of Acoustics and Vibration - Year 2014, Vol 11, Issue 1
Abstract
This paper presents research on determining the sound absorption coefficient and structural damping level, for five samples, thus determining the sound absorption capacity and antivibrational propriety of each obtained material. Materials were made from particles of recycled rubber, fir sawdust and a polyurethane binder, in combination with other materials existent on the market (cork of fabric). Using particles of recycled rubber in the domain of composites materials is of major importance from a technical, economic and ecological point of view.
